| ⚫ | |||
| − | [[Image:DanathW2.jpg|frame|left|Danath in Warcraft II]] |
||
| + | Invincible was born to the mare [[Brightmane]] on the [[Balnir Farmstead]] in [[Tirisfal Glades]], in the winter of the year [[Stormwind]] fell. Prince Arthas, then nine years old, was present when he was born, and was given the horse by the Balnir family, who bred horses used by the [[House of Menethil|royal family]]. The horse had a white coat, different from the usual Balnir stock, which normally had gray coats. Arthas had considered naming the horse "Snowfall" or "Starlight", but in the informal tradition of Lordaeron knights and nobles naming their steeds after a quality ([[Uther the Lightbringer|Uther]]'s was "Steadfast", [[Terenas Menethil II|King Terenas]]' "Courageous"), he named the colt "Invincible".<ref>''[[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]]'', 26</ref> |
||
| − | Danath is the nephew of [[Thoras Trollbane]], Lord of [[Stromgarde]], and militia commander of the [[Alliance Expedition]] to [[Draenor]]. He is also known as "Danath Dungalion".{{Cite|S&L|29}} |
||
| + | Ten years later in winter, before Arthas was inducted into the [[Knights of the Silver Hand]], Arthas' exertion in the numbing cold resulted in a crippling injury to his beloved Invincible. Too far from help and unable to heal the stricken horse, Arthas was forced to kill him in order to relieve his pain. He was buried on the grounds of the Balnir Farmstead at Arthas' request. Invincible's death was one of the events that inspired Arthas to become a paladin.<ref>''[[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]]'', 53-55</ref> |
||
| − | A mercenary captain from the Stromgarde militia at the beginning of the [[Second War]], Danath was made famous for leading the armies of Stromgarde in the final fight for [[Khaz Modan]]. His status as a great general and fighter elevated him to the position of Overseer at the orcish [[internment camp]] system in [[Azeroth]], based at [[New Stormwind]]. |
||
| − | == Beyond the Dark Portal== |
||
| − | Danath was called to reinforce [[Nethergarde Keep]] when the Horde reopened the [[Dark Portal]]. Taking half of the standing forces in Stormwind, Danath headed out to Nethergarde where he was ambushed by the Death knights and the new Warsong Clan. Knowing that the Horde was going to win the battle, the men sacrificed themselves so Danath could warn [[Khadgar]] the wizard in charge of Nethergarde. Against his wish to stay with his men, Danath could not let their sacrifice be in vain and galloped to Nethergarde where they were under siege by the Warsong led by [[Grom Hellscream]] until they were relieved by his friend and commander General [[Turalyon]]. Danath would never forget the guilt for leading then leaving his "boys" as he called them to be slaughtered. |
||
| + | [[File:Arthasdeathknight2.JPG|thumb|Arthas and Invincible from ''[[The Frozen Throne]]''.]] |
||
| − | When [[Ner’zhul]] took the [[Book of Medivh]], among other items, to Draenor, Danath joined the Alliance Expedition as second in command and the tactical advisor to General Turalyon. After taking Hellfire Citadel, Danath led half of the Expedition along with the [[Kurdran Wildhammer]]'s Gryphon Riders and half of [[Alleria]]'s rangers led by [[Thalressar]] who became his advisor after Ner'zhul while the rest went after the items. During the chase, Kurdran was struck down by Ner'zhul. Enraged with the loss of his friend, Danath relentlessly pursued the Horde and was determined to launch a full attack at once on [[Auchindoun]] where the Horde had taken refuge but at the urging by Thalressar he quickly calmed down. |
||
| + | After the fall of Lordaeron years later, Arthas - now a death knight - ran directly from Lordaeron after murdering his father, to the Balnir Farmstead where Invicible was buried. With the power of [[Frostmourne]], Arthas resurrected the horse as his undead steed.<ref>''[[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]]'', 195</ref> Now fully living up to his name, Invincible could become a spectre and disappear, to be resummoned by Arthas at any time.<ref>''[[Arthas: Rise of the Lich King]]'', 269</ref> |
||
| + | During the Scourge's siege on the [[Sunwell]], [[Anasterian Sunstrider]] confronted Arthas in single combat, severing Invincible's forelegs with his runeblade, [[Felo'melorn]], to dismount him. Witnessing Invincible's injuries brought on a surge of memories and sent Arthas into a rage, during which he shattered Felo'melorn and struck down Anasterian. This time, however, Arthas was able to necromantically repair the injuries. It is likely that Invincible served as his master's steed, even after Arthas became the new [[Lich King]], though [[Sindragosa]] has also been referred to as his mount. |
||
| − | As they waited, Thalressar and Danath encountered the arakkoa [[Grizzik]]. Learning that Kurdran was still alive, Danath quickly followed Grizzik as he led them into the tunnels of the Auchindoun. There Danath met the draenei priest [[Nemuraan]]. Convincing the draenei that they were going to rid the ancient temple of the orcs, Nemuraan aided them by calling the ancient draenei spirits and leading them into the tunnels and with the aid of his newfound allies, Danath led the Alliance against the orcs there where the humans, elves and dwarves would fight for the first time along side the draenei who would one day be members of the Alliance. |
||
| + | It is yet unknown what has happened with Invincible after Arthas' death. |
||
| − | After rescuing Kurdran, Danath comes face to face with the renowned orc chieftain [[Kilrogg Deadeye]] who barred the way to Ner'zhul. After fighting a fierce but honourable duel, Danath slays the great orc warrior but not after Ner'zhul was gone. |
||
| ⚫ | |||
| − | Parting his new friends, Danath rejoined Turalyon and lay siege to the Black Temple where Ner'zhul was opening new portals. When the planet was starting to tear itself apart, Danath and his friends defended Khadgar against overwhelming forces while the mage close the Portal. Then with the rest of the expedition, he disappeared into one of rifts Ner’zhul created to escape the dying Draenor. |

Invincible was the steed of Arthas Menethil, both in life and death. He was the skeletal steed that Arthas rode throughout Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
Biography
Invincible was born to the mare Brightmane on the Balnir Farmstead in Tirisfal Glades, in the winter of the year Stormwind fell. Prince Arthas, then nine years old, was present when he was born, and was given the horse by the Balnir family, who bred horses used by the royal family. The horse had a white coat, different from the usual Balnir stock, which normally had gray coats. Arthas had considered naming the horse "Snowfall" or "Starlight", but in the informal tradition of Lordaeron knights and nobles naming their steeds after a quality (Uther's was "Steadfast", King Terenas' "Courageous"), he named the colt "Invincible".[1]
Ten years later in winter, before Arthas was inducted into the Knights of the Silver Hand, Arthas' exertion in the numbing cold resulted in a crippling injury to his beloved Invincible. Too far from help and unable to heal the stricken horse, Arthas was forced to kill him in order to relieve his pain. He was buried on the grounds of the Balnir Farmstead at Arthas' request. Invincible's death was one of the events that inspired Arthas to become a paladin.[2]
Arthas and Invincible from The Frozen Throne.
After the fall of Lordaeron years later, Arthas - now a death knight - ran directly from Lordaeron after murdering his father, to the Balnir Farmstead where Invicible was buried. With the power of Frostmourne, Arthas resurrected the horse as his undead steed.[3] Now fully living up to his name, Invincible could become a spectre and disappear, to be resummoned by Arthas at any time.[4]
During the Scourge's siege on the Sunwell, Anasterian Sunstrider confronted Arthas in single combat, severing Invincible's forelegs with his runeblade, 
[Felo'melorn], to dismount him. Witnessing Invincible's injuries brought on a surge of memories and sent Arthas into a rage, during which he shattered Felo'melorn and struck down Anasterian. This time, however, Arthas was able to necromantically repair the injuries. It is likely that Invincible served as his master's steed, even after Arthas became the new Lich King, though Sindragosa has also been referred to as his mount.
It is yet unknown what has happened with Invincible after Arthas' death.
In World of Warcraft
Invincible's open grave.
In World of Warcraft, Invincible's empty grave can be found at the Balnir Farmstead in Tirisfal Glades:
INVINCIBLE
Beloved steed of Prince Arthas Menethil
Loyal and great of heart in life, may you find peace in death.
Pure streams and green pastures, devoted friend.
The open grave was introduced in Patch 3.0.2, Echoes of Doom, but went unnoticed until just before the Zombie Infestation phase of the Scourge Invasion, which heralded the release of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. However, Arthas: Rise of the Lich King indicates that the grave had already been open for several years.
Wrath of the Lich King
When defeated on heroic difficulty in 25-player mode only, the Lich King will drop Invincible as a flying mount called the Invincible Charger.[5]

Music
On January 22, 2010 a music piece titled "Invicible" was released on the WoW 5 Years Anniversary Battlecry Mosaic as an Alliance reward. It was later included on the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King - Fall of the Lich King Soundtrack, available exclusively at Blizzcon 2010.
- "An ode to one who has fallen. Time and events have left it unclear whether the song refers to the former prince of Lordaeron or his beloved steed."
The song largely revolves around a recurring lyrical leitmotif, "An Karanir Thanagor, Mor Ok Angalor. Mor Ok Gorum Palahm Raval" which can also be heard in the closing cinematic of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and in the opening cinematic of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
